I was Chris' wife/caregiver & this is the medical blog I wrote during his treatment. Short history: dx in July 2010, no initial bone marrow involvement, did 5 rounds hyper-cvad protocol. Found out he is in relapse/refractory status with involvement in his chest, spleen, inguinal & throat lymph nodes, bone marrow, spine & brain in January 2011 when we went to MD Anderson for treatment. The two different rounds of chemo Chris got at MDA could not put him in remission; he died of leukemia/lymphoma on March 18th, 2011, an astonishing and horrific 8 months after his diagnosis.

counts are better and scan clear!

His counts are getting better and the scan of his abdomen came back normal!  As long as his levels don't start declining again he should be clear to start round 4 after we meet with his new Dr.  
Chris will continue with the prednisone.  His Hickman was taken out a few weeks ago when he was in the hospital and it may have been the cause of his recurrent fevers, he hasn't had any fevers since.  He'll have to get another PICC or Hickman line put in before he starts chemo again.  

The move is less than 6 days away and I am so ready to see Magnus!!!
